I have noticed several players rostering additional characters with just one colour of cover to send as team ups (to guarantee colour received). I have seen thus with:
1* BW (blue)
3* Deadpool (Purple)
3* Punisher (Red)
Which other characters would players recommend for targeted Team-Ups ?
Bag-Man’s yellow (which increases friendly countdown timers) is actually a really helpful team-up with certain characters. However, I have been working on a yellow-only Bagman for at least four months; I play PVP fairly regularly and I have earned exactly one yellow Bag-Man cover in that time.
Yeah higher level, crits are game changers. I’m only in the 4* transition, and it makes a huge difference. One reason why Jean Grey is popular I think.
Not yet mentioned: Quake (aoe damage+board shake), JG, Wolverine (black can be pretty deadly) and sw come to mind. Any 4* boosted can be a good TU too.
No, it won’t. She obviously isn’t champed. I had alliancemates send me undercovered MBWs (0/3 or something like that) and the TU was at only 3 covers. The always-5-covers rule applies only if you send a champed character.
I was pleasantly surprised to learn that Mr. Fantastic is actually a fantastic TU to send. (Pun intended) He only sends out blue which is a nice, cheap stun and targeted swap.
Luke Cage’s Righteous Uppercut I think counts all three characters as allies when used as a team-up. When a Luke Cage in your team uses it, he doesn’t count himself.
Similarly, Gwenpool’s Plot Armor will send all your characters airborne when used as team-up. When used by a Gwen in your team, she remains a target.
Maybe not the best team-ups, but a couple that are or could be better when used as a team-up. Hood yellow could fit here too.
